Dark Star Pictures has taken North American rights to paranoia thriller Alone With You ahead of the film’s world premiere at Fantastic Fest, reports Deadline.

Written and directed by Emily Bennett & Justin Brooks as their feature debut, the film follows a young woman (Bennett) as she painstakingly prepares a romantic homecoming for her girlfriend.

“As she goes about her task, her apartment begins to feel more and more like a tomb as voices, shadows, and hallucinations reveal a truth she has been unwilling to face.”

The film also stars Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, You’re Next), Dora Madison (“Friday Night Lights”, Bliss) and Emma Myles (“Orange Is the New Black”).

“Emily and Justin have crafted a truly unique horror film that utilizes atmosphere and human emotion to drive a narrative of terror that will hit closer to home than most of us would like to admit. This is a horror film that is much more than horror, spotlighting incredible female performances, diversity and a feeling of claustrophobia that could not be more relevant in our current society,” said Michael Repsch, Dark Star Pictures, who negotiated the deal alongside Josh Goldbloom with Producer Andrew Corkin on behalf of the filmmakers.

Dark Star will release theatrically in early 2022 in New York and Los Angeles, plus additional markets across the country, with an on demand and digital release following after.
